Hi everyone
I 28M, earlier this year had a breakdown after being touched inappropriately at work, not sexually, but in a way that affected me quite badly
tl:dr February ‘24
upper manager ran his hands through my hair when I was not aware of anyone behind me, and made an offhand comment, felt very singled out and it made me super anxious, apology was a “sorry you took it this way I meant it this way” and was done over the phone, this obviously was not good enough for me and I felt disrespected as an employee that he couldn’t face me in person , I took it to HR which didn’t help at all
And so I spiralled and had close to 4 months of unpaid leave
I returned yesterday under a sort of “supervised” agreement, where I am working 5 hour shifts for the first 3 weeks to get me accustomed to working again, and the cover admin staff is here for that full 3 weeks
A problem arose today when my manager handed me some sheets where she is asking me to document my day, what time I do something, what I do etc
So now I feel like I’m being monitored, and that because there is another admin staff I won’t have work to be writing down which I feel will reflect badly on me
What can I do? I reallistically don’t want to quit, thankfully mum was supporting me by paying bills while I was off, but I can’t ask her to do it again while I find another job
Sorry for the long post
